Royal Khyber
Price: Moderate•Indian•4.8(583)Royal Khyber ............ A Journey for your palate and mind. The art of Indian cookery lies NOT in high spicing but in the delicacy of spicing. Indian cuisine is universally known for its distinctive flavorings. It was in fact the lure of these spices which first brought the British and the French, the Dutch and the Portuguese to the Indian coast. It is the use of selected spices in a particular manner (whole spices, ground and or spice blends) to bring out the dormant flavors of a dish, which is the real art, practiced by the experienced chefs in the Royal Khyber kitchen.
Royal Khyber is a Fine Indian Cuisine Restaurant, located in South Coast Plaza Village (across from Nordstrom).Hana Re Sushi

- RRicheyVIPOrange County •73 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoWe went to support the new CEO and try out the new menu additions. In order to max out the visit, we ordered the Crab Leg/Potato Boil and the one with Shrimp, Sausage, Corn and Potatoes. Both were very good, and the portions were filling! It came out to a little over $100 for two with drinks and a tip. That's about the going rate these days for seafood, so it was a good value. We will probably try the loaded potato with crab stuffing next visit.More infoRed Lobster - Garden GrovePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Garden Grove / Westminster•4.4
